Title: Sensing method and apparatus
IPC: G01D5/20
Filed: 2003-02-17
Abstract: There is described an inductive sensor for sensing a parameter such as position. The inductive sensor includes: receive aerial which is electro-magnetically coupled to a magnetic field generator via a resonant circuit with the electromagnetic coupling varying in dependence upon the sensed parameter so that a sense signal induced in the receive aerial is representative of the sensed parameter. The magnetic field generator generates a magnetic field including a first magnetic field component at a first frequency which is operable to induce resonance in the resonant circuit and a second magnetic field component at a second frequency which is not operable to induce resonance in the resonant circuit. The signal processor processes the sense signal to generate a signal component corresponding to a first component of the sense signal at the first frequency adjusted using a second component of the sense signal at the second frequency so that a noise component of the first component of the sense signal is reduced, and determines a value representative of the sensed parameter using the signal component.

Patent GB-8706630-D0 (GB)
Title: Variable output oil pump
IPC: F04C14/04
Filed: 1987-03-20
Abstract: The invention provides a variable output pump of the gerotor type in which one rotor (16) meshes in two side by side annulii (14, 12) which can be aligned for maximum output and turned in opposite directions to be non-aligned for minimum output. The movement is effected by a gear train (20, 24, 29) displaced by a rack (40) which is hydraulically operated by pump pressure. Hence high pressure displaces the rack to result in lower output against lower pressure. A variation is described in which a control spool diverts fluid to either side of the piston according to need and this is displaced in one direction by the derived fluid pressure and in the other direction additionally by spring pressure transferred from the piston position by a lever system. This can give desired pump output/speed results at reduced power consumption.

Abstract: PCT No. PCT/GB92/01846 Sec. 371 Date Aug. 26, 1994 Sec. 102(e) Date Aug. 26, 1994 PCT Filed Oct. 9, 1992 PCT Pub. No. WO93/07712 PCT Pub. Date Apr. 15, 1993A rate converter for digitally converting the sample rate of a signal, has a first digital filter for deriving an intermediate signal at increased sample rate and a second digital filter for deriving an output signal at a decreased sample rate relative to that of the intermediate signal. The first filter is of relatively high order serving to double the frequency. Because the frequency change is a power of two, the aperture characteristic is straightforward and implementation is simple even at high order. The second filter is of relatively low order so that implementation is simple even with a time-varying aperture characteristic. The low order of the second filter does not however degrade the overall frequency characteristic.

Patent GB-9727065-D0 (GB)
Title: A method and system for worldwide media selection, production and delivery
IPC: H04L12/14
Filed: 1997-12-22
Abstract: The invention is a method for selecting, producing, and delivering a finished mail piece. The method includes the step of selecting, at an initiating node, a set of parameters which together comprise a mail piece to be produced at a remote location. The selection is made from a series of menus within a program resident within a data processing system. Among the parameters which can be selected or determined are the destination address, type of delivery service to be used, and a choice of the media stock upon which a selected text can be printed. Additionally, a choice of language for the text can be made, and an account number for debiting the cost of the transaction may be entered. The selected parameters are transmitted to a data center which reads the destination address and then determines the most appropriate destination node. It is possible for the data center to be co-located with the initiating node or, to be the destination node. The data center, which maintains all data with respect to a particular transaction, will transmit the selected parameters to the destination node. Upon receipt of the data, the destination node prints the selected text upon a media which is inserted into an envelope with the destination address printed upon the envelope. The envelope is then franked in proper local currency and delivered to a local postal stream for final delivery to the destination address.
